Day Without Television 
(NARRATIVE - 9 minutes, 12 seconds)
Susan S. Simon  

Admitting that perhaps it seems hypocritical to create a video about avoiding television, Simon claims she has a love-hate relationship with the mystical box in the corner of the living room, and often turns to other stimuli.  This film explores some of her favorite places to go, enhanced by choice bits of wisdom spoken by people who spend all their days without television.
